TCP/IPv6 over wireless sensor mesh

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an essential part and key enabler of the Internet of Things (IoT), where hundreds or thousands of little smart sensing or mastery nodes are interconnected to transmit sensing/monitoring selective information or controller teachings. In order to implementsensing/monitoring or dominance services of process at a large scale with seamless connection to the Internet, IPv6 would be the best solution due to its many advantages including its highly scalable address scheme, stronger security measures, and full Internet obligingness. Therefore, IPv6 Over WSN is getting more and more inquiry and evolution (R&D) aid from both manufacture and academia.

TIPoT development kit

The TIPoT development kit offers a very effectual, flexile, and low-cost development political program, including an end-to-end application framework, for the experimental inquiry of TCP/IPv6 over IEEE 802.15.4 WSN, as well as prototype development of various productions and applications for WSN or IoT. It allows students, teachers, enquiryers, hobbyists, makers, product developers and entrepreneurs to inquiry, develop and evaluate innovative applications or applied sciences for low-power, low bandwidth ad-hoc wireless sensor/actuator meshes with full TCP/IPv6 internetworking. Users can connect their own sensors, add more nodes, and develop or evaluate the functionality of their devices/applications that are built on IPv6 over WSN.

TIPoT development kit

TIPoT development kit has been adopted in graduate student thesis research projections at the University of Ottawa, Canada, and computer engineering project at the Algonquin College, Canada. Large scale testbed deployments are being planned at the University of Ottawa and University of Montreal. In improver, TIPoT kits are being adopted for product prototyping or establishing testbeds for quite a few applications, including smart irrigation, precision agriculture and building structural monitoring, in a number of research/engineering introductions and hi-tech companies in Asia, North America, Africa and Europe.

Inspired by the overt source initiative and to offer low-cost solution with non-constrained R&D tractability, the TIPoT platform is developed based on free receptive source software system, with the following notable features:

Researchers at universities, colleges, government and industrial research institutions/labs

for implementing prototypes, establishing large-scale testbeds for experimental research and performance evaluation of applications, protocols, algorithms, as well as complete products, related to IoT and other relevant technologies
